Motivational Atmosphere
A term used to reflect the impact of a wide array of potential motivational influences originating in particular from coaches, parents and peers (Keegan, Harwood & Lavallee, 2010).
In other words, those factors which are beyond the cognitions of the individual themselves, but which have an impact on the momentary motivation of athletes (Keegan, Spray, Harwood & Lavallee, 2014).

Why should you care?
7
Coach education appears to
underprepare for creation and maintenance of
motivation beyond the individual
Sport research appears drawn towards a small
number of theoretical approaches
(often chosen a priori)
These approaches
appear to under-emphasize the
effect of social / contextual
factors
Factors around athletes can
have a profound effect on their
‘in the moment’ motivation
Would you doubt the level of intrinsic motivation or goal orientation athletes have?
If not, we want to know what else is going on

So if it’s complex, why have I only called outcoaches in my research title?
I want to unearth heuristic factors that can help coaches(de facto leaders in the sporting world) to better prepareathletes for success.
“Effective coaching” then, is a broader set of considerationsthan simply what the coach does to develop technique,tactics and physical preparation.
Emerging Research Structure
1. Systematic Review: theories applied to understand social influences on motivation in sport and exercise. Aims to explore both quantitative and qualitative studies.
1. Variety / Homogeneity2. A priori theory selection3. Prevalence of certain theories (e.g. AGT / SDT) compared to other theoretical
options (cross-domains)
2. Theory building based on qualitative inquiry to draw out the complexities of social motivation that bipartite and tripartite models inevitably miss.
3. Build and test an heuristic model to assist in the development and maintenance of a motivational atmosphere conducive to performance.
1. Coach education and support2. Parent education and support3. Athlete / team education and support
